So, farewell then Tony Soprano?

And so it ended - The Sopranos, a show that was groundbreaking, shocking, genre-defining, and, I would argue, one that eventually almost became a cliche of itself, has finally come to a close.

Over the years it's been fascinating watching the relationships around Tony evolve - especially those between himself and Uncle Junior and his sister, Janice. It's also been fun watching AJ and Meadow grow up - as they first realise, and then accept, exactly what their father does for a living.

However... the ending??? I felt cheated - it had 'future Christmas special' written all over it. As a creator and director who often sought to 'break the mould', I expected more from David Chase.
